A seminal, four-part drama series about the British judicial system -'there is a fearsome ring of truth about it' - examining endemic corruption from the perspectives of the police, the criminal, the solicitor and prisoner.

G.F. Newman - later to write and produce Judge John Deed and New Street Lawi - secured his place in
television history with this searingly controversial 1978 series. The four-part drama broke with the traditional 'heroic and respectful' view of the police and portrayed widespread corruption and abuse within the system.

In the wake of a bungled armed robbery, the series focuses on Jack Lynn, a villain already known to the police; Inspector Fred Pyle, a cynical Scotland Yard Detective determined to nick him, and Alex Gladwell, a cunning lawyer who's perverting the
system in order to get him off.

As we view the story from four different perspectives - The Detective's Tale; The Villain's Tale; The Brief's Tale; The Prisoner's Tale - shocking questions begin to gather force: was Lynn even at the robbery? Do the police have any real evidence? Do the courts really want justice done? Do prisons change or simply reinforce criminal behaviour?
